In real life, GMs have stats and scouts. Sometimes, they say opposite things. Part of the skill is sorting that contrary information and weighing which one is right.
Eliminating one source of information is like playing a PGA event without walking the course or knowing the pin placements. No one would do it.

I pretty much agree with you spot on. I have tried stats only, and while it's interesting and challenging, I found the unknown to be too much at times, especially during a draft.
I joined a league about 4 years ago that had actual ratings off and haven't looked back from that. We know potentials and have star ratings, but have no idea what the actuals are. For me, it gives you a little bit of both, you are still looking at stats to see if a guy is ready to be moved up or down, declining, and to know if he is a full time player or just a platoon player.
